Optimised coating offers operating cost savings in medical electronics assembly

A coating which has been LED-optimised is offering assemblers of medical electronics equipment considerable cost savings.

Dymax has introduced a flexible, high-performance, LED-curable coating for medical micro circuits typically used in hearing aids, wound-care devices, and medical pumps. MD 1901-M has been developed to be tack free immediately after curing, helps prevent potential defects that could occur as a result of components being handled too soon. This low-durometer, flexible coating is ideally suited for flex circuits due to its ability to resist cracking or delamination while the board is being flexed. The product's secondary heat-cure capability provides a solution for areas that may be shadowed from the light source. The product is ISO-10993-5 approved for customers who are looking for a medical grade electronics coating, seal, or moisture barrier. Dymax LED curing systems provide cooler cures and extend the cure capabilities of thermal-sensitive substrates.
